I have been thinking about what I am thankful for in the new year and on that list is each and every one of you. SEF is only a complete organization with every Administrator, Teacher, Board Member, Parent, Community Member, and PTA working together to make a difference in the lives of our students.

I am thankful for all of the time, effort, funding, and work that each and every one of you gives to SEF, all to help us follow our mission to enhance , enrich, and extend the academic initiatives of our schools.  Our primary mission is simple:  p rovide financial support to the  San Gabriel Unified School District students.  

As a volunteer organization we are all here out of the goodness of our own hearts and I am thankful that you have chosen to put your heart into SEF!  

Your support of the Annual Fund is critical to the continued success of our projects and workshops offered for the students in our school district.   Thank you for being a loyal friend and follower of SEF. I truly appreciate your commitment to helping our students into the New Year.
